The Planet Mars
Number of words: 742 - Number of pages: 3.... lander, a cargo lander, and a crew transport
vehicle. The CTV carries them to the habitat lander. They land on Mars,
and do their business. When they’re done, the habitat lander takes them
back up to orbit where they meet back up with their CTV, waiting patiently
in orbit, that takes them back home.
The money issue is being handled in many different ways. The most
successful plan so-far is the ThinkMars plan. Students at MIT and Harvard
are setting up a for-profit corporation which they contract out various
tasks to small businesses and corporations for NASA research centers. The .....

Should There Be A Nuclear Power Plant In Saskatchewan?
Number of words: 436 - Number of pages: 2.... power requires a
mere fraction of the space that is required to set up a solar, wind, or
hydroelectric generating station which. This will allow more space for private
landowners and will also keep land prices at a lower cost. Nuclear power is also
a much cleaner operating type of fuel. The amount of waste produced is from a
nuclear power plant is not even a fraction of the amount of sulfur, carbon
monoxide, and nitrogen oxide produced by a coal plant. By building a nuclear
power we will reduce acid rain and not add to the global warming. Hydro stations
form algae in lakes which reduces .....

Human Evolution In Africa
Number of words: 829 - Number of pages: 4.... out by rodents already living there. Others spread to Europe and the Middle East.
By this time, Africa had just split from marsupial overrun Gondwanaland. About a million years later it reached the Middle East, and primates moved in. By now the world had cooled enough that the primates in Europe had been decimated to near extinction. They also migrated south, for the Mediterranean Sea was at that time dry lowland. Now almost all of the primates left in the world were in Africa, and the only marsupial that wasn’t wiped out was the opossum. Primates and large cats now ruled, wi .....

Mercury
Number of words: 447 - Number of pages: 2.... 4/5 of the way
to the surface.
Mercury bares a very similar resemblance to our moon because it has a
lot of craters. The craters, which cover seventy-five percent of Mercury’s
surface, were formed by huge rocks that smashed into the planet’s surface. The
largest crater is called the Caloris Basin and it is 1400 km in diameter and is
flooded with molten lava. Mercury also has many cliffs that are usually over
300 miles long and two miles high. The rest of the planet’s surface is smooth
and may have been formed by lava flowing out of cracks in the surface.
Temperatures on Mercury .....

Stars
Number of words: 817 - Number of pages: 3.... is how bright the appear to
us in the sky. The scale is somewhat arbitrary, as explained above, but a
magnitude difference of 5 has been set to exactly a factor of 100 in intensity.
Absolute magnitudes are how bright a star would appear from some standard
distance, arbitrarily set as 10 parsecs or about 32.6 light years. Stars can be
as bright as absolute magnitude -8 and as faint as absolute magnitude +16 or
fainter. There are thus (a very few) stars more than 100 times brighter than
Sirius, while hardly any are known fainter than Wolf 356.

Nuclear Weapons
Number of words: 955 - Number of pages: 4.... as a hydrogen
bomb, lightweight nuclei are forced to fuse at very high temperatures into
heavier nuclei, releasing energy and a neutron. In order to squeeze the two
nuclei together, an atomic fission bomb is usually used. A fusion reaction
releases about four times more energy per unit mass than a fission reaction.
The United States supervised the development of the atomic bomb under the code
name Manhattan Project, during World War II. The first nuclear chain reaction
occurred in December 1942, at the University of Chicago. Soon after the first
bomb test, atomic bombs were dropped on th .....

The Element Carbon And Its Importance
Number of words: 1089 - Number of pages: 4.... in paint.
Most carbon occurs in combination with other elements. For example,
the carbon dioxide in the air is a compound of carbon and oxygen. Other
compounds containing carbon include minerals such as limestone, and fuels
such as coal and petroleum. Carbon compounds make up the living tissues of
all animals and plants. There are over one million known carbon compounds
(still growing rapidly every year), which is over the sum total of all the
other elements combined. The largest group of these compounds are the ones
composed of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon also forms another s .....

Anabolic Steroids Just The Facts

This can also be verbally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically. In our society we have always praised the athletes that achieve the most amazing physical feats or that have achieved cosmetic perfection. Lets face it, having large muscles enhances confidence, strength, and physical attraction from the opposite sex which can lead to positive popularity. Being extra strong can also dramatically aid an individuals performance in most sports. A p .....

Atomic Bombs
Number of words: 593 - Number of pages: 3.... Japan. Moreover, the second bomb being dropped at Nagasaki killed an average of 70,000 people. In these two blasts, entire families perished, leaving no one to report the death until four months from the catastrophe. This has made the Atomic Bomb the most powerful weapon ever invented in mankind.
Secondly, countries that produce these bombs are harming others as well as themselves if there was war. For example, if a country fires an atomic bomb on another country, both of the countries will become affected with radiation and other nuclear gases. There is no need to produce these bom .....
